Sai Dharam Tej's latest release Thikka has been severely panned by the critics and filmgoers as well. Most of the viewers are calling it as 'the torturous movie of recent times'.

Thikka couldn’t capitalize on Sai Dharam Tej’s popularity and the holiday weekend because of the bad talk. Openings of Thikka were not up to the mark and it will eventually go down as one of the biggest flops of the year.

Although Thikka has been instantly turned down by the audience, makers of Thikka are putting a bold face on. They are claiming that the film has proved the stamina of SDT yet again by collecting 19.63 Crore in first three days.

Looks like they are desperately trying to get the attention of filmgoers with such advertisements, but no one is going to be fooled with such false claims.

Meanwhile, Sai Dharam Tej who did his best to promote Thikka prior to its release is staying away from the post release promotions.

Thikka has already done enough damage to the promsing hero’s flourishing career and maybe he is controlling further damage by staying away from the post release promotions.
